Thanks. SMP & preempt testing is most important.

No problem.
I just want drivers to be _thoroughly_ tested while we fix them since a flaky driver can spoil all efforts spent on making bulletproof core kernel.
What methods do folks use to break NIC drivers? It would be nice to have crash-my-nic toolset :-)
BTW, I wanted to learn about pktgen, but there's no pktgen in 2.5 (don't know why). -- vda - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
